Gus H. Beaulien, Dept. United
States marshal, newspaper pub
Usher, Chippewa half breed, and
a good citizen and pleasant com
rade, is once more on top, in spite
of Agent Sheehan of the White
Earth colony. During the latter
part Of March, 1886, Mr.. Beaulieu,
being at that time a resident of
the White Earth reservation, be-
gan the publication Of newspa-
per, which he called "The Pro,
gress. In his preliminary bow
to the public he. announced that
his paper would be an organ for
the Chippewas that the public
might know their rights and abu-
ses. The little sheet also advoca-
ted consolidation of the several
reservations, and commented brief
~ upon the management and con-
troll OF the reservation.
T. J. Sheehan, Indian agent on
the reservation, objected to the
publication Of PROGRESS" and
laid forcible hands on the plant of
the little paper. The agent assert
ed that the United States courts
could have no jurisdiction in the
case, but when application was
made to Judge Nelson by Mr..
Beaulieu the complaint was given
ample hearing, and a decision was
rendered against the agent. Ac-
cordingly the second mo. II was
issued and has been quite extern
sively circulated. The paper con.
tains much interesting news mat
ter, beside history of the legal
controversy, and is a credit to it's
publishers.

1T will be remembered that the
Indian agent caused the suspen-
sion Of Beaulieu's paper-uniaw-
fully as was believed by MAORI
ty of men-and as has since been
decided through slow course of
law. It seems that the Indian agt.
did not like to have an obstacle in
the way Of his differing and rob-
bling the Indians. An intelligent
man who was on the look out to
see fair play to the Indians, to
whom he was related by the strong
ties Of kindred, was nuisance to
the Indian agent. He was a stencil
to his nostrils, a daily reproach to
his rapacity, and he was bound to
hamper him, if not wholly to get
rid Of him. But Beaulieu has won
"a hard fought battle, and we extend

The time is near at hand when rail
road ears will again have to be heated.
What has been done by Northwestern
railroads toward providing some other
heating appliance than the deadly car
stove? Absolutely nothing. But per-
haps there is no practicable method of
heating except by means of the stove.
Not at all. Two railroads at least have
found some other way atfording all the
heat necessary and yet thoroughly safe.
The New DIRK Central and the PennSyI-
vania railroads have placed steam heat
ing apparatus in all of their passenger
cars and it has been found that the car
stove can be completely thrown aside.
Of course the new mode of heating is eX-
penSiye, but that is not the point to con-
slider. 1t is safe. and certainly the
public has right to demand safety at
any cost.
Now that the complete success of
steam heating has been demonstrated,
every railroad in the country should
adopt it, and if any roads show dispo-
sition to be regardless of the safety of
passengers and needless of their own
interests, they should be compelled by
law to remove the stove and put the
steam pipes in its place.

Getting Tired of Tt.

Several of the roads that have been
reducing the rates on soft coal are evil
IDENTIFY becoming tired of the fun. The
latest rate made by the Chicago &
Northwestern from Spring Valley and
Chicago to st. Paul is 95 cents. The
Milwaukee & st. Paul has met this rate
from Streator, Wilmington and other
mining points. AS the roads from the
coal mines to Chicago insist upon rate
of 40 cents per ton, the proportion of
the Milwaukee 81 St. Paul from Chicago
to ST. Paul is but 55 cents per ton. The
Chicago & Northwestern, if it carries
out its policy of making the same rate
from Spring Valley and Chicago to st.
Paul as is accepted as their proportion
by other roads from Chicago, it will
have to reduce the rate to So cents, and
if the other roads continue to meet the
Northwestern rate it would leave them
but Is cents per ton from Chicago to st.
Paul. Of course the roads can not pos
sibly do the business at SUCH rate, and
consequently strenrQuseforts are being
made to bring about an agreement by
which rates can be restored again.

From ocean to ocean.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-An authority
in the Northern Pacific affairs says:
The Chicago & Great Western railroad
will soon furnish an entrance to Chi
cagO for through trains from the Pacific
coast, coming over the lines of the Ore
gOn Railway Il Navigation, the North
ern Pacific and the Wisconsin Central.
The Pacific coast and Chicago will thus
be cemented by one system OF road, and
the Chicago Il Great Western will find
ample use for its terminal facilities in
Chicago. In this connection it will be
OF interest to note that rumOrS are plen-
t1ful regarding peaceful-in fact close
traffic arrangements being made be-
tween the Northern Pacific and the
Union Pacific. There is also talk here,
and apparently well founded, that the
Union Pacific is about to build a line di-
rect to Chicago from Omaha, and thus
be in position to compete with the
AtchiSon with it's new line. The Chi
cagO d Great Western has solved for the
Union Pacific the question Of a Chicago
terminal. And on top of this comes an
other report, which is entitled to con-
sideratiOn, to the effect that the syndi-
cate which is seeking to control the Bal
timOre & Ohio is in hearty sympathy
with this Northern Pacific and Union
Pacific alliance, and if the Baltimore &
Ohio goes into their hands it's terminal
will be in Chicago, at the Chicago &
Great Western station, thus affOrding
an opportunity for sending train from
the Pacific to the Atlantic over the one
system, and each road acting as feeder
to the other.

A MONEY FAMINE.

New York, the great financial center
of the country, is groaning terribly
under the tight squeeze of money mat
tiers and is calling Justify on the presi-
dent for help. The New York mer-
chants formally notify Mr.. CLEVELAND
that he will have to unbolt the treasury
vaults and pour out some of the surplus
or they will be compelled to refuse a
further extension of credit to their Gus
toners. Anticipating that if the threat
ened policy of the Gotham merchants is
carried into effect, Secretary Fairchild
has fastened to New York to
confer with them about the matter
and the probability is that their re-
quests will be complied with and money
will soon be abundant again in the me-
tropolis. While there is no stringency
in money in this section, still we will
be gratified to learn that it is
to be made more plentiful
in the East. That means we are going
to get stih more money out this way.
The active development of this section
is given as the reason for the money
famine in the East. Money will go
where it can be made most
profitable. Every dollar that has
been sent West has earned
good interest, and there is room for
millions more. We join in the request
that the president will lift the floodgates
of the treasury and pour golden
stream into New York. 1t will hot stop
there long. Soon, very soon, it will be
flowing in this direction and the East
will be suffering from another money
famine

RAILROAD MATTERS.
FROM DULUTH TO SUPERIOR.
Mr.. Smith Talking for the Bridge
in Washington.

in Washington.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The visit of
James Smith to the war department on
Saturday is believed to have been in the
interest Of the st. Paul & Duluth road,
of which corporation he is the counsel.
1nasmuch as the secretary of war, adju-
tant general and other responsible Off
Gals were in Philadelphia, he was I'M
able to accomplish anything; nor did he
mention the nature of his business to
any OF the subordinates who were tenn
porarily in charge, and unable to serve
him. To-day, accompanied by Congress
man Macdonald, he called at the de-
partment and stated his case to the act
ing secretary of war. 1t will be remem-
bered that congress passed law grant
ing the right to the st. Paul q Duluth
road to construct a bridge over the st.
Louis river, from Duluth to Superior,
subject to the approval of the secretary
OF war. That official has not yet APP
proved the plans, nor satisfied himself
as to the legality of all the preliminary
arrangements in the premises. The
road intends not only to cross the river
and touch Superior City, but it intends
to push along the northern tier of coun-
oiSo VI w ioCOIolu W Aoildill, etuu pOool-
bly, to Sault Ste. Marie. Consequently
this bridge, as a preliminary measure,
is OF the utmost Importance. Mr.. Smith
presented the case, its legality, equity
and necessity in mastery manner, and
it is probable that the secretary or act
ing secretary will attend to the matter
at an early date. There seems to be no
objection to the bridge, either from Du-
luth or Superior; nor is there any open
opposition from rival corporations, to
amount to anything.

HE HAS NOT LOST.

Ex-Congressman WAsHBURN, of Mime
sofa says that CLEVELAND has lost in the
West. What does the st. Paul GLOBE say to
that? We leave to the GLOBE the status of
Minnesota. As far as the status of Missouri
and Kansas are concerned, we will say that
Mr.. WAsHBURN has either been misinformed
or he is peculiarly gifted, three ply, double
distilled liar, proposition we are fully pre-
pared to prove.-Kansas City Times.
What does the GLOBE say to that? 1t
says, most emphatically, that Mr..
WAsHBURN is decidedly mistaken.
And yet in one respect, he is not mis-
taken either. Undoubtedly in one
sense Mr.. CLEVELAND has lost in the
West. But it is a loss that has been at
tended with great gain.
Among the machine politics manipu
lators, the spoilsmen, the office-for-rev-
enue-only men, the would-be political
dictators he has lost some supporters.
And WHY? Simply because they have
discovered that Mr.. CLEVELAND cannot
be, to use their elegant phraseology,
worked" to suit their selfish aims and.
though incomprehensible to them, places
his duty to his country above the wishes
of the self-seekers who probably would
not recognize copy of the constitution
if they saw it.
But has he lost among the people?
Not bit of it. He is stronger with
them to-day than any president since
the war. They recognize in him man
with well defined ideas and the courage

There will be change of bill in Devils

GEORGE DONALD MELVILLE, the juggler in
1.-THE Devils Auction is a son of JAMES
MELVILLE, the once famous circus rider, who
was for many years the rival of JIM ROBIN
SON as the champion bareback rider of the
world. GEORGE MELVILLE is himself an ac-
complished bareback rider, as well as skill

CHARLES II. YALE, who wrote sThe DEVILS
Auction and is its manager, has written
another spectacular play, which he will put
on next season. 1t is called 1.-THE Twelve
Temptations and is a reconstruction, with
the spectacular features added, of an old

of his convictions. They see that he is
controlled by no clique or cabal. They
know that he is influenced by no con-
siderations except those of patriotism,
and that he fully comprehends his posi-
ton as the servant and not the master
of the people. They see, too, that every
one of his acts is characterized by a
sturdy independence and desire to do
right as he sees it.
That is just the kind of a man the
people want to see in the presidency.
It's the kind of man in whom they
have confidence, and if occasional mis-
takes should be made they can readily
overlook them when the intention is
excellent. And the discontinue of
certain politicians is rather pleasing to
the people than otherwise. AS a rule
common sense, intelligent people take
very little stock In the professional
politician, ane if the people of the
Northwest are distinguished for any
thing it is for common sense and in
telligence.
AS against the manipulators they are
with CLEVELAND every time, and not
only is this so in Minnesota, but 1t is
true also of Wisconsin and Iowa, Mr..
WAsHBURN or any disaffected and dis
gruntled politician to the contrary not
outstanding. The people, not the
politicians, elect the president,

THE sPEAKERSHIP.

Mr.. CARLISLE has settled the dispute
about the speakership. Before leaving
Washington for months sojourn in
Wichita, Kan, where he is visiting
friends and taking rest before enter
ing upon the labors of the next con-
gress, he gave it out as cold fact that
he would be candidate for the speak
ership, and had thought of nothing else.
That settles it, for with CARLISLE as an
announced candidate there will be no
opposition on the Democratic side of
the house. ALI that is left is to go
through the formality of nominating
him in caucus and electing him in open
house. 1t is still question among
Democrats whether or not Mr.. CAR
Isle would have been more serviceable
at the head of the ways and means COM
mittee. 1t is fairly well understood
that some sort of tariff reduction bill
is to be passed by the next con-
gress. Both parties are committed
to it and neither can hardly afford to go
before the country in the next presi-
Dental campaign without having made
a sincere effort iii the direction of tariff
reduction during the coming congress.
The senate is Republican and the house
is Democratic. Whatever bill will be
passed must be compromise measure.
The Democrats will aim to reduce the
tariff to a strictly revenue basis. The
Republicans will endeavor to make
shown favor of tariff reform and vet
aim to preserve all the most odious
features of the existing tariff. 1t is
going to be fight that will require the
best ability that each party can COM
mand on the floor of the two houses.
For this reason there is strong feeling
among the Democratic members of the
lower house that Mr.. CARLIsLE's serv-
ices on the floor would be particularly
valuable at this time. But Mr.. CAR
Isle thinks otherwise, He has ex-
pressed the opinion that he can perform
a greater public service in the speak
er's chair than as chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means. Whether
he is correct in that opinion OF not the
country will have to be satisfied with it.
He is going to be the next speaker, but
the man who frames and carries through
a mill materially reducing the tariff will
win more distinction than all the speak
ers from the beginning of the govern
ment down to the present time.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT.

g., ApropoS to the late centennial cele-
bration of the constitution of the United
States, correspondent asks the GLOBE
for its opinion as to whether our govern
ment is national or federal. This is
broad question, and after all that has
been said and written on it, there
would be very little use for the GLOBE
to contribute it's mite to a discussion
which has attracted attention for whole
century of our national existence. If
the language of the constitution is not
plain enough to eXpound the character
ofour government, it was an unfortun-
ate omission on the part of its trainers.
1t is fortunately plain enough, however,
to assure everyone that self-government
is the underlying principle of its forma-
ton and its intention was to secure lib
erty, peace and prosperity to the citi-
zen. AS long as these ends are
accomplished and permanently as
sured, it makes but little difference
about the general plan of attaining
them. The trainers of the constitution
had this single idea in view and, from
out of a multitude of conflicting views
do W Tic ueldl1cu arrangement OF the
governmental machinery that would
best serve the purpose of putting this
idea into effect, the constitution was
framed. In sense the instrument is a
compromise of conflicting opinions, and
for that reason is not so explicit in its
declarative features as it would have
been if the whole convention had been
of one mind. From the fact that on
motion of Mr.. ELLSWORTH the word ''na
tionaP' was stricken out of the Consti-
tuition without single objection being
made to the motion, it is fairly safe to
assume that the trainers of the instru-
ment had federative system in mind.
One of the best definitions of the char
acter OF our government was that given
by Mr.. Tuck r in his address at Yale
last commencement: General power
over all general interests, and local
power of each over local INTERESTS
That is the proper adjustment of the
division OF power between the general
and state governments, and it makes but
little difference what it is called, wheth-
er national, federal, or both.

Looks Like a FizzIe.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 21.-It looks
as If the province had reached the end
OF its tether, and that work ON the road
was going to be stopped. There is now
little doubt of Norquay's failure to raise
money, and the contractors, who have
not been paid, will not go on with the
work. The rails have arrived, but as
there are about $4,000 freight due the
Canadian Pacific railway on them the
company will not release them until the
amount is paid, and the government
hasn't got the wherewithall to pay.
Things are getting into pretty bad
shape, and unless something is done
things will be in a hopeless muddle.
Norquay will doubtless get pretty
warm reception when he returns, as the
people refuse to believe that he failed in
an honest attempt to raise the money.
They believe there was crooked work
somewhere. The ultimate result will
probably be the upsetting of the govern
ment. The Dominion government in
junction case comes up for argument
Friday next. The local government has
been making strict inquiries and finds
that all the lots are in possession of
squatters, and it is thereby hoped the
province will win the case.

mission had done all in its power to cor
rect existing evils, and if it did not sue
ceed in giving entire satisfaction it was
simply due to the fact that the law was
not clear on many of the points raised.
Hasty action on some of the questions
might have resulted in much greater
dissatisfaction than that caused by the
slow and careful consideration given to
those subjects. Many of the cases
brought against the railroads by ship
pers were not presented in such shape
as to give the commission an opportun-
ity to act intelligently. Many of the
abuses in railroad management and al
legged violations of the law, which were
continually being ventilated in the
newspapers, were not brought to the at
tention of the commission by the proper
parties, and the commission could not
possibly be expected to take action I'M
less proper charges were preferred and
subStantiated.
